| Targets |
GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII targets Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) as an ATP-competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 24 nM. It also inhibits Aurora A kinase (Ki=58 nM) and Src (Ki=81 nM). By inhibiting GSK-3, it modulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, making it a valuable tool in research on cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. The compound also stabilizes a wide array of kinases including AMPKA2, CAMK1D, CAMK2A, ERK1, and VRK3. Its mechanism involves ATP-competitive inhibition at the kinase active site.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII is a potent ATP-competitive GSK-3 inhibitor with a Ki of 24 nM. It also inhibits Aurora A kinase (Ki=58 nM) and Src (Ki=81 nM). The compound exhibits significant antiproliferative activity against human COLO205 cells with an IC50 of 1400 nM and against various other human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 883 nM to 7990 nM. Additionally, it inhibits human recombinant PKR autophosphorylation with an IC50 of 15000 nM. It stabilizes multiple kinases including AMPKA2, CAMK1D, CAMK2A, ERK1, and VRK3.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies of GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII are limited in publicly available literature. As a potent GSK-3 inhibitor, it is expected to modulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and influence glycogen metabolism, potentially affecting glucose homeostasis and cellular proliferation. Given its antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines in vitro, it may have potential for in vivo investigations of cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, specific in vivo efficacy data and detailed animal model studies have not been extensively reported. Further research is needed to establish its in vivo activity profile.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For GSK-3 kinase activity assays, recombinant human GSK-3 enzyme is incubated with appropriate peptide substrates and varying concentrations of GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII in the presence of ATP. Kinase activity is measured by quantifying substrate phosphorylation using radioactive [γ-33P]-ATP or by luminescent ADP-Glo assays. IC50 or Ki values are calculated from dose-response curves. For selectivity profiling, similar assays are performed with a panel of kinases including Aurora A, Src, AMPKA2, CAMK1D, CAMK2A, ERK1, and VRK3. Assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate vehicle controls and reference inhibitors as positive controls.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, cancer cell lines such as COLO205 or other human cancer cell lines are cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to desired concentrations. Cells are treated with compound for specified durations (typically 48-72 hours). Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or ATP-luminescence assays. IC50 values for antiproliferative activity are calculated from dose-response curves. For mechanism studies, downstream signaling markers such as β-catenin and phosphorylated GSK-3 substrates can be analyzed by Western blot. Each concentration is tested in replicate wells with vehicle controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies of GSK-3 Inhibitor XIII, no specific published protocols are available. For general in vivo administration of GSK-3 inhibitors, compounds are typically formulated in suitable vehicles such as 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline and administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection or oral gavage. Dosing regimens vary by study objective. For diabetes models, blood glucose levels may be monitored. For cancer models, tumor growth is monitored. Blood and tissue samples may be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. All procedures must follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
